U.S. "affluenza" teen sentenced to nearly two years in prison

A U.S. judge on Wednesday sentenced Ethan Couch, better known as the "affluenza" teen whose attorney used having too much wealth as a defense, to nearly two years in jail for a deadly drunken-driving collision.

Wayne Salvant, a judge in the Texas city of Fort Worth, also determined that Couch, who turned 19 earlier this week, will not be able to consume alcohol or leave Tarrant County without his permission, according to local TV station ABC13.

Salvant agreed that all records from Couch's juvenile case will remain sealed.

Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said that Couch has been in isolation and will remain there as he would "obviously be in some danger."

In 2013, a then 16-year-old Couch was put on a 10-year probation after killing four people while driving drunk near Fort Worth.

Couch and his mother Tonya were apprehended in Mexico on Dec. 28, 2015 following an international manhunt after he allegedly failed to appear at a court-mandated meeting with a probation officer. They were later deported to Texas.

In February, Couch was moved from a juvenile detention facility to an adult jail in Fort Worth.

As of Wednesday, Couch's mother has not been indicted for allegedly helping her son flee to Mexico. Endi
